Well, I'm heading down a street that has a dip on the left side, I go over it and immediately I hear a large explosion-like sound and my left side drops. I think,"dang, I'm walking home... my stupid tire blew". Unfortuneately, the problem was worse than even my torsion bar snapping, the torsion bar anchor's welds broke . Not being able to really do anything I turn on my flashers and anger the fellow drivers as I limp home keeping my speed between 10-20 MPH.

Guess I'll find out prices on fixing this, if it's too much than my car's future as a daily driver is very bleak(I don't plan on getting rid of it, it'll just be worked on when I have a chance... and obviousely not be driven till I fix the anchor). Unfortuneately time is short, winters coming and I have to have a car to get me for school to work..... this bites

The kicker, I just had $150 worth of parts to re-build the rear brake, new drums, shoes, etc....

that's some tough luck. When it happened to me I lucked out. It was right in front of my house. Good luck with the repairs I've never repaired just one side but I know from experience that replacing the entire crossmember is something of a job.

Well, I talked to my dad and using some of his contacts found a friend of his that used to have a Challenger he raced that broke it's ankor points often. They're willing to fix it(even if it's temp. I'm getting ready to move out of the nest and would like to have a working car)

You might be able to get a torsion bar anchor repair cap from Auto Rust Technicians.

The cap might be a better long-term solution but for now it's been welded up, don't know how long it'll last...
